So far, I've only seen supplement bars that have added caffiene... Clif ICE bars are the ones I'm thinking of. Most contain vitamins, minerals, and amino acids which are especially important for people doing increased amounts of activity, but they aren't hurting people who are using them just in place of a meal either.

I imagine that we will see ephedrine "stack" meal bars in the future. It is becoming very widely used as an appetite suppressant. It used to be well-known primarily in only bodybuilding and fitness circles. Nowadays, everyone has heard of Stacker2 and Xenadrine. It is being used more "mainstream" for weight loss...

The trend is in the direction of more herbs being included in supplements. Unless the FDA steps in and begins regulating them more strictly, it will become even more commonplace.

PS. the same goes for drinks... anyone heard of Red Bull or Adrenaline? Check out the labels of those drinks!
